Beijing tells Theresa May not to close door on China amid Hinkley Point tensions

As the British PM prepares for her first G20 summit this week, China’s UK ambassador urges her to make ‘wise choices’

Beijing has urged Theresa May to make “wise” choices that help write “a new chapter” of UK-China relations when she flies into Hangzhou later this week for the G20 summit amid tensions over the controversial Hinkley Point C nuclear project.

The so-called “golden era” of UK-China ties – sealed under her predecessor, David Cameron – has threatened to unravel since May took power in July.
